The Grasshopper and the Ant
by Mrs. Allen Flyingout, submitted by Yvonne Verjan
An ant worked really hard to gather a lot of food and store it in her house. In the summer, she had a lot of stuff where her house was. And the grasshopper sang. He decided that he would just dance in the summer. “Likewise, you should work. Likewise something should be put in your house so that, when cold comes, you will eat something,” she told him. “No!” said the grasshopper. “I am going to dance around, and also I’m going to sing. I don’t want to work. It’s too hot.”
Then, when it was cold, he wanted to eat. “Oh, the ant stored a lot of her food in her house. I’m going to eat,” he said. He went to eat, but he had already been told by the ant, “I shall not feed you when you are hungry.” But she had pity on him, the ant for the grasshopper, so she fed him.
